Pourquoi nous avez-vous fait monter hors d'Égypte, pour nous amener en ce méchant lieu, qui n'est point un lieu pour semer, ni pour des figuiers, ni pour la vigne, ni pour les grenadiers, et où il n'y a point d'eau à boire?
Et pourquoi nous avez-vous fait monter d'Égypte, pour nous amener dans ce mauvais lieu? Ce n'est pas un lieu où l'on puisse semer; on n'y trouve ni figuiers, ni vignes, ni grenadiers, et il n'y a pas d'eau pour boire.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt,.... They represent that affair in such a light, as if they were forced out of Egypt by Moses and Aaron against their wills; or at least were overpersuaded by them to do what they had no inclination to, namely, to come out of Egypt; though they were in the utmost bondage and slavery, and their lives were made bitter by it, and they cried by reason of their oppression, and the hardships they endured; but this was all forgot. Aben Ezra says, it is a strange word which is here used, which shows the confusion they were in:
to bring us unto this evil place; dry and barren, where there were neither food nor drink, as follows:
it is no place of seed; or fit for sowing, as the Targum of Jonathan, any sort of seed, as wheat, barley, rye, rice, c.
or of figs, or vines, or pomegranates it is not a soil fit to plant such trees in, nor would they grow were they planted:
neither is there any water to drink; for them and their cattle, and therefore must be a miserable place for so large a body of people to subsist in.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The language of the murmurers is noteworthy. It has the air of a traditional remonstrance handed down from the last generation. Compare marginal references.
